Chapter 1196
However, she used it again, bargaining for a chance to meet Marco, not for any other favors.
She was certain that if she asked Marco for a substantial monetary gift or a comfortable life overseas, he wouldn’t decline.
Yet, she refused to quit. Having left in disarray once, she wouldn’t let Loraine win again and slink away in despair.
In the Bryant Group CEO’s office, Marco immediately added the number to his block List after sending Keely the message.
Carl caught a fleeting glance at the message. From Marco’s reaction, he surmised it must be Keely.

Though Carl wasn’t fond of Marco flaunting his romantic life, he preferred it over the stoic and distant Marco of the past. He couldn’t fathom how unhinged Marco might become if he couldn’t win Loraine over.
For the sake of Marco’s love life and his own bonus, Carl gently reminded Marco, “Mr. Bryant, if you plan to see Miss Haywood, shouldn’t you inform Miss Torres?”
